Mortgage free in Forever Home :-)

Oh, and the significant present was handed over to me wrapped for me to open on Sunday so at least I don’t have to watched opening it! 😳😉

Totally get what you are saying here, but I am finding is bringing that clarity of every penny is how hard it is to earn a £5 a week on Qm33! That is really making me focus in on every penny! 😉😂

Ooh, yes! I can see that thinking "Hmmm, it would take me 4 hours to earn this back in surveys" would be a motivator not to spend 🤣! 

Interesting on the present....are you shaking it in trepidation, or just eyeing it cautiously from the other side of the room 🤔😳?

I'm not sure I'd be able to keep a wrapped present in my house for two days. Any clue what it might be?

@South_coast - I am eyeing cautiously / trying to ignore it! 😳😂

@Merlin’s_Beard - my husband is very strict with me about such things! 😂 I *may*, possibly, have form for opening Christmas presents on Christmas Eve …. <ahem> Oh and it’s small, jewellery box sized. The sad things is, if whatever it is is good I will never wear it as I only wear silver (long standing prejudice  against gold 🤷‍♀️😉). 
Btw, this may sound a little odd, but it’s lovely to see someone else with a large mortgage number! 😉

I'd open it earlier so that I had a good chance of finding something to (good) to say when saying thanks.

Definitely not weird, I've been actively seeking out diaries with a similar number to me to follow to reassure me that I'm not mad for taking it on and it is doable!

Op of £5.36 thanks to QM33 today

It was a nice thing!! 😊❤️

When hubby and I got together I was in a lot of debt and he was spending whatever he had coming in. This meant when we got engaged I didn’t get an engagement ring as we were saving for a deposit to move in together. The present / heirloom is Hubby’s grandma’s engagement ring!! It’s really elegant and delicate (3 little diamonds I think) on a really slim band. The only gold I wear is my wedding ring, so to have an engagement ring that sits well with that is lovely 😊 

I think it needs cleaning (the stones have no sparkle to them) so will wear it next weekend to a family lunch and then get it cleaned at a local jewellers. Amazingly it fits perfectly! ❤️😊
